Wroclaw University (Poland) is organising a student exchange with Oskemen (Ust-Kamenogorsk) University (Kazakhstan). We will arrive to Astana on July 25th in the evening and we would like to rent a bus with a driver for 13 persons to Oskemen. We would also like the bus with the driver to stay with us for 3 weeks around Oskemen (local trips) and to return with us to Astana on August 20th.My question is if there is such possibility and what would be the total costs.

Hallo! In May I will have seven hours in Astana while waiting for a connecting train. It will be a Saturday. What can I do during this time? Can I leave baggage at the station? Is it far to go to city centre?

Is there a website i can go to find out more about information about restaurants in Astana?I need to know things like what they serve and what people like about the resaurants that keeps them coming back.

What would be the shortest way to get to Astana from the US? Or from Western Europe?
I tried the Internet search, and could not even get flight to Astana (Almaty is readily available).
Do I have to fly to Almaty and then buy a plane ticket to Astana locally?
Thanks everyone!
